nevitable—Isa Reconstruc- 
tom Possible? 

The rush of ovents is fast hurrying the final 
dissolution of the Confederacy; the excitement 
incfeases as despatch after despstch is made 
public, and subsides into deeper resentment 
and more deterinined resistance. Men—who 
afew months ago wera Union men—soon be- 
come co-operationists, and are now the earnest 
adyocates of separato Stato resistanca The 
whole mind of the State is fast accepting the 
only alternative left—that of separate State 
action. All hopo of preserving the present 


Dissolution i 


Union has been abandoned by the people of 


Virginia; and while they earnestly desiro that 
its dissolution may be peaceable, and that re- 
construction way speedily follow, they will not. 
be unprepared for war, if that dread nlterna- 
tive is tendered by: the North, 

Separate State action is necessary before 


t 
oe can produce reconstruction—and if tho 
Northern people are not hopelessly blinded by 
the fanaticism that pervades their communities, 
hey will recognize in the peaceable secession 
of Carolina and other States the only 
hope of subsequent reconstruction. 

‘Pho Federal Goverament, while powerless to 
prevent dissolution, is not, under Mr. Buchanan 
atleast, without great capacity to effect a re- 
construction of the States into a durable and 
permanent confederacy. It is, indeed, to be 
hoped, that Mr. Buchanan ins realized the fact 
that dissolution is inevitable, and that his 
whole duty centres.in the preservation of the 
peace, Had ho early recognized tho causes of 
the country’s troubles as existing Beticeen the 
States, and that for their settlement the Gene- 
ral Government was powerless, he might bave 
opened tho way, first for peaccable dissolution 
and next for reconstruction. 

He has not thought proper lo withdraw the 
forms of law from over those States in which 
he acknowledges it is impossible to execute 
them, and yet has declared it unconstitutional 
to coerce a State. The telegraph announces 
that, to all the wrongs already perpetrated 
upon South Carolina, he bas superndded in- 
sults lo her Peace Commissioners, 

If this be true, Mr. Buchanan has fully gone 
over to the coercienists,and it matters very little 
whether they be Black Republicans or Demo- 
crats. He bas driven from bis Cabinet the 
representatives of the South, and taken to his 
councils Gen. Scott, brim full of malice and 
hatred towards the people of the South—a man 
who has the vanity to suppose, that in the 
anarchy which sectional war will introduce, he 
may become Dictator, a le Napoleon. Mr. 
Buchanan has thus assumed the responsibility 
of inaugurating civil war. If he finds any con- 
solation in this exploit, there will be none to 
dispute his claim to the execrations with which 
his name will be embalmed. 

‘Those who desiro the re-construction of tho 
Republic and the preservation of peace, turn 
now to the Senate. Without its connivance 
in the folly and wickedness of Mr, Buchanan, 
the President's war will still be a failure, Hay- 
ing succeeded in emptying the treasury, he has 
deprived himself of the sinews of war, and un- 


less the Senate has become also a tool of @e™ 
te) or nuimy HUE OnLy Prevene War, DIL DY i= 


jouraing and the returning home of Northern 
Democrats and Southern Senators, ifthey cannot 
succeed in the recommendation of the “Na- 
tional Intelligencer” to withdraw nll Federal 
authority from over the seceding States, they 
may, by disorganizing the Government, give 
time and opportunity to mediation which may 
result in permanent and durable peace. 

No Southern man, of any party, should re- 
main in Wasbington, where bis presence, by 
making a quorum, may involve his own peoplo 
in the horrors of civil war. The Northern 
Democrats, who no Jonger have any confi- 
dence in Mr. Lincoln or in Mr. Buchanan, but 
Who still desire the preservation of peace for 
the reconstruction of the government, should 
also yacate their seats, and leave the Govern. 
ment disorganized. 

The postponement of eivil war, and the pre- 
vention of the official announcement of the 
late Presidential election by the Vice President, 
will give time for the States to assemble in 
Convention, publish a plan of Union, and sub- 
mit it to tho people of all the States for rati- 
fication. 

Mr. Buchanan's conduct, if reported correct- 
ly by the telegraph, is an effort to enlist the 
entire North against the Southern States, and 
to confront the sections in array of civil war. 
Tf successful in this well-planped scheme for 
universal anarchy, ho will have carned an in- 
famy unparalleled in the annals of history, — 
Will the Senate of the United States lend 


themselves to such a treasonable purpose?

‘The Commissioner from Alabama. 

Hon. A. F. Hopkins, the newly appointed 
Commissioner from the Stato of Alabama, has 
received numerous visitors from many of our 
prominent citizens, ofBcial and unofficial, at his 
apartments at the Ballard House. 

This distinguished gentleman has already 
succeeded in making a wost favorable impres- 
sion. The manly character of his outspoken 
sentiments, and the genial courtesy and entire 
dignity of bis manners and address, promise 
well for his mission of Republican diplomacy, 
Mr. Hopkins represents thoroughly the senti- 
ment of his State, in urging the necessity for 
prompt nnd decisive netion by. tha soveral 
States, previous to and preparatory for the 
harmonious and efficient co-operation of the 
Southern States.

The report that the co-operationists bad ob-

patch, received-by the Alabama Commissioner

Dec Bist, 1800, } 

Gentlemen :—In the local column. of your 
semi-weekly issue of the 28th instant, Lobserve 
the following paragraph 
“Haneer’s Fexny.—A curious stato of things 
exists at present at Harper’s Ferry. Imme- 
diately after the John Brown raid, the pera. 
ives ‘there (most of whom, if we are rightly 
informed, are from Northern States,) organized 
themselves into two uniformed military compa- 
nies, but they have never asked for commissions 
from the State, and seem to think that thoy 
are in no way bound by tho militia law of the 
State. These men, or at least some of them, 
yote at local clections, and, in fact, in some 
measure contro) them, | Of course, it is uone- 
cessary (to say that they are not, for they can- 
not be, commissioned by the Federal Govern- 
ment. Thoy are, then, an independent corps, 
with a uniform different from that of the State, 
and with United States nrins in their hand: 
In tho event of a disturbance, on what side 
will they be found £” 
I deem it due to the Inte Secretary of War, 
(Mr. Floyd,) to the Armorer and to myself, to 
make a simple statement of facts, which I 
must ask the favor of you to publish. 
Provious to the “Brown raid” there bad not 
for many years been nny inilitary organiza- 
tion at this place. The operatives in tho Ar- 


them. No man could have conévived the 
idea of providing protection from such a rail 
as Brown's, any more ih would have 


thought of putting props under the Blue 
Ridge, to prevent it froin filling gn tho Ar- 
mony. “Hence, no arms or ammunition were 
in the possession of the people of the place.— 
After the Brown raid, however, the armorers 
yoluntarily requested to bo permitted to orga- 
nize themselves into companies, -for the pro- 
tection of the public, ss well as the private 
property of the place. ‘There wore no Fede- 
ral forces regularly stationed here. Reliance 
upon the armorers asd other citizens had to 
be resorted to. They cheerfully volunteered 
to do service, and the Secretary of War agreed 


the Armory and’ ils contents, (some 20,000 
first rate arms) from being turned upon 
the State of Virginia, as was so near the 
case with Brown. I bave taken the pains sine 
reading your paper to have some investigation 
made into the nativities of the persons employ- 
e@ in the armory. We have about $60 men 
employed. Nearly $00 are native born Virgi- 
nians; seven only were born North of Mason 
and Dixon’s line. The remainder are of for- 
en birth and have been here for a number of 
years, I merely state theso fucts as the question 
has frequently been discussed in the press of 
the State. J, of course, take no exception to 
your notice, but merely make it the eccasion to 
correct a misapprehension which seems to be 
quite gencral. “Many of the foreigners in the 
armory have been here a quarter of a century 
or more. 
T doubt, if so few Nortbern men can be 
found in any machine shop South, in which 
there aro so many workmen. Look around 
Richmond for instance, Then this isa Govern- 
ment armory in which all good mechanics of 
the country” hayo equal claims to be employed. 
Hence whether accidental or intentional, I con- 
sider the smallness of the number of Nortbern 
engaged asa remarkable fact; and I reflect up- 
on this state of things with’ real pride. For 
we haye some of the finest mechanics in the 
world here—Virginians, all. 

Tam sure any failure to enroll themselves in 
the State Military organization, has been the 
result of no want of fealty to the Common- 
wealth. You must at once see how inconve- 
nient it would be forincchanies, at high prices, 
to go adistanco of ten miles to musters, when 
nothing was to be gained by the State, " ‘Then, 
too, as oon as cnrojled in the Stato organiza. 
tion, the arms would be taken from them.— 
There certainly could be no detriment to Vira) 
ginin to have theso first-rate companies 
armed with the most improved arms of the 
ago with no cost to the State. I huve 
somo knowledge of these people, afd 
I feel the most perfect confidence in vouch: 
ing for their fidelity to the “Old Dominion," 
whenever sho has real need for thcir services, 
It affords me great pleasure to be able to bear 
testimony to the character of these Armorers, 
in this unqualified manner. My official cov: 
nection with them is near its close, and I fe« 
no reserve in making the statement. 

Very respectfully, 
ALFRED M. BARBOUR.

Public Mecting in Pittsylvania, ~ 
‘According to appointment, an adjourned 
meeting of the people of Pittsylvania was held 
at their QGourt House on Monday, December 
17th. I. H. Carrington, Esq., Chairman, be- 
ing absent, on motion, James ‘A. Luck was 
called to tho chair, and Wm. D. Coleman re- 
quested to record the proceedings. 

‘Tho Chairman liad appointed by direction of 
the mecting at Jast Court, a committee to re- 
port resolutions for the consideration of this 
meeting. The committee consisted of the fol- 
lowing gentlemen, viz 

J.M. Terry, R. EB. Withers, B. W. S. Cabell, 
A, H, Moorman, J. M. Whittle, Wan. M. Tred- 
way, Sr. A. S. Buford, D. S. Graves, W. F. 
Wilkinson, N. 0, Millner, M. Mf. Millner, J. EB. 
Anderson and James A. Luck. 

Joseph M. Terry on behalfof the committee, 
introduced a series of resolutions, which, he 
said, had been adopted by the committee with 
some degree of unanimity. ‘They are as fol- 
lows: 

‘That in view of the mad and reckless designs 
of the dominant party in the United States 
and of the dangers which threaten the institu- 
tions of tho South, institutions in which 
ginia is identified in interest with the other 
slavcholding States, Virginia should take such 
steps as may be necessary to secure equality 
ofr aby and protection to her interest. ‘There- 
fore, 

Resolved, That a convention of the people 
of the State should be called as early as prac: 
ticable, to effect the above objects, and to this 
end Virginia and the South ought to be unitod 
and unbroken. 

Resolved, that before resorting to secession 
every Constitutional mode of redress in tha 
Union should first be exhausted. 

Resolved, That in no event will Virginia 
sanction an attempt by the Federal Government 
to coerco a seceding State or States. 

Dr. RE. Withers suggested that the yote 
bo taken upon the resolutions eeriatim, nod in 
view of the intimate connection in meaning be- 
tween the first resolution and the preamble, he 
moved to vary the order of proceedings so as 
to vote upon the preamble first. He then 
moved that the preamble be adopted. 
At this juncture Charles E. Dabney moved 
as a substitute to the above preamble and re- 
solutions, the following, viz: 

We, the people of Pittsylvania, in gencral 
weeling assembled, do Resolve, 

Ast. That our Representatives in both bouses 
of the General Assembly of Virginia, be, and 
they are hereby instructed to advocate, in the 
extra session of the said Assembly which has 
been called to the 7th January, 1861, tho pa 
sage of a bill providing a Vonventivn of tne 
State, lo mect at least 3 early as the 1pth 
February, 1801. 

2d. That in our opinion the State of Vir- 
ginia should scordially co-operate with her 
Southern sisters in any final action which. they 
may take vpon the momentous issues now pre- 
sente for their consideration. 

Tho following gentlemen advocated the 
adoption of the substitute in tho order in which 
their names are mentioned, viz: J. M. Terr 
0. E. Dabney, G. ©. Cabell. 

Dr. R. E. Withers supported the original re- 
solutions, and declared that, whilst in his opi- 
nion thero was very little difference between 
them and tho substitute, yet the comments of 
the author of the substitute and the arguments 
of its advocates clearly indicated that they 
meant notbing short of secession and disunion. 
He was not yet prepared for that, 

Dr. Witbers was followed by Georgo W. 
Read, Esq., in favor of tho substitute. 

The previous question was then woved by 
Gcorgo W. Jones, but it was not sustai 

Capt. Jas. C. Luck then moved to adjourn, 
but his motion was lost. 
Tho debate was further continued by A. S. 
Buford in favor of the original resolutions, and 
W. A. Witcher in fayor of the substitute, 

‘The vote was then taken and the substitute

being of stone, it must be of the strongest na- 
ture. That portion of the fort nbove the water 
line is of brick and céncrete of the most solid 
character. Its plan is a truncated pentagon, 
with one sido parallel to. the adjoining shore, 
thus presenting an angle to the channel. OF 
the truncated angles the eastern, western and 
northern are simply formed into pan-cunpees, 
whilst the other two are formed of two small 
faces, making an angle of ubout fifteen degrees 
with the sides of the pentagon. At each inter- 
section of the stoall fuces isa sally-port, The 
height of the parapet above tho Water-line is 
sixty fect. On the eastern and western sides are 
barracks for the privates, mess hall, kitchen, 
&c. On the Southern side are the officers’ quar- 
ter, which are finished in very handsome style. 
Itis mounted with the heaviest guns of the 
United Sintes service, arranged in. three tiers, 
the two lower being Casemates and the upper 
Barbotte guns. Tho Casemate guns are those 
which are fired from an embrasure in the Scarp 
Walls; and are protected from the enemy's 
whelle by an nrched bomb-proof covering over- 
head; the Barbette, those which fire over the 
parapet, which exposes the cannonniers to the 
fire of the enemy, although, in this instance, 
the Leigbt of the ramparts is so great that 
there is comparatively no danger from the shot 
of an enemy's fleef: ‘Tho armatnent consists 
of 140 pieces, placed in the fullowing order: 
‘The heaviest guns. such as the 82 and 64 
pounders, on tho first tier; 24 and 82 pounders 
on the second ticr; Columbiads (8 and 10 
incb) and heavy sea coast mortars on the 
top of the ramparts. 

Phe heaviest pieces are turned toward the 
harbor, the lighter toward the land side; which 
side is further protected by wusketry, for’ 
which loopholes are cut in the Scarp Wall.— 
The number of each kind of gun is about 
thirty 64-pounders, the same number of 82- 
pounders, forty 24pounders, ten of each enli- 
bre of Columbiad, ten 18-inch and ten 10-inch 
mortars, capable of throwing about four thou- 
sand (4,000) pounds of shot and four thousand 
three hundred (4,800) pounds of shell at each 
discharge. 

On the terra-parade plain are situated two 
furnaces for heating shot——Whe wageelties “ace 
situated on the inner sides of the sally ports, 
and contain, at present, 40,000 pounds of pow- 
der, and a proportionate quantity of shot and 
shell. ‘The landing to the Fortis on the south- 
ern, or land side, and is formed by a wharf 
projecting towards the shore, and also extend- 
ing the length of that face, 

‘This fort would be nearly impregnableif fin- 
ished and properly wanned. It is at present 
so far completed that, with a little tewporary 
work, it could be made so strong as to defy any 
attack by u fleet of large vessels. Its weakest 
point is on the South side, of which the ma- 
sonry is not only weaker than that of the other 
sides, but it is not protected by any flunk fire, 
which would sweep the wharf. Once landed, 
an entrance may, at the present state of the 
construction, be easily made, for the blinds of 
the loiwer cmbrasures, though six inches in 
thickness, may yet be easily blown away, and 
even if this was impossible, sealing ladders ean 
reach those of the second tier which are not 
eted in this manner. 

1s concludes the brief sketch of a fort 
which is a most perfect specimen of civil and 
military engineering. The whole work has 
been conducted in a manner that reflects the 
highest credit upon the engineers, and is wor- 
thy to occupy tho prominent position that it 
holds, In conclusion, we take oceaslon to 
allude to one point of especial beauty—the con- 
struction of the arches—of which there are 
ly every variety—the “Full Centre,” the 
Seginent,” the “Groined,” the “Askew,” and 
the “Rampart—and to add that tho walls at 
qheir base are 12 feet thick, and at the top 8}

Apo (ven dcsaripliontofituenrorterial Berner? 
bor of Charleston says : 

‘The two works which ure designed to com- 
mand the entrance of the harbor, ara Forts 
Moultrie and Sumter. The latter is tho larger 
of the two, with three tiers of guns, surrounded 
entirely by water, tou shoal for heavy ships to 
approach, and yet sufficient to prevent the use 
of batteries nearer than 800 er 900 yards, where 
the shore line approaches most clgsoly.” With 
a very moderato garrison it would be entirely 
impregnable to any means nt the disposal of 
the State. 


FORT MOULTRIE. 


‘The following description and plan of Fort 
Moultrie, which bas been dismantled and de- 
stroyed, will be perused with renewed interest 
at this time : 

Fort Moultrie is an eoclosed water battery, 
baving a front on the south, or water side, of 
about 800 feet, and a depth of ubout 240 fect, 
Itis built with salient and re-entering angles 
on all sides, and is' admirably adapted for de- 
fence cither from the attack of a storming par- 
ty, or by regular approaches. Below we give 
a rough diagram of the line of fortifications.

Gen. Lane moved to take up the Pacifle Rail- 
ad bill, when considerable opposition was 
jised to it on the ground that Mr. Baker, the 
bw Senator from Oregon, was entitled to the 
Fon Crisis nffairs, “Several Senators on the 
Jemocratic side also urged that the bill be 
ken up, 
Mr. Lrumbull declared it to be a mero effort 
‘n the part of Mr. Lane to prevent his colleague 
rom addresging the Senate. It was the first 
ime such a thing had ever occurred on the 
oor of the Senate, 
Mr. Lane repudiated the imputation. He 
deemed it his duty to endeavor to take up the 
bill, and believed it could be disposed of during 
tho morning hour. 
Mr. Baker said he would yield his right to 
Ithe floor forever to see this bill passed, as he 
clioved it. was one of the greatest bonds of 
Union that could be acted upon. 
Finally, tho Pacific Railroad bill was wade 
ho special order for Saturday. 
Mr. Baker having the floor proceeded to ad- 
ress the Senate, [le expressed the great re- 
ponsibility which he felt in speaking in such 
presenes; complimented the Scnator of 
Louisiana for his recent speech as being the 
best ho had heardon the pending questions, 
but still he deprecated his argument to prove 
that the Government was of no avai) and that 
the Union was actually dissolved. He hoped 
ewas higher. Ile hoped to con- 
rargyment to sustain the Gov- 


ich he hved and under whlch 


Ho desired to show that this Government was, 
‘a substantial power, sovereign in ils sphere—a 
Union, and not a mero compact of sovercign 
States! ‘Uhat it has the right of self-protection, 
and jn its constitution and perpetuity is equally 
capable of oxercise aguinst domestic treason as 
against a foreign foe. 7 

‘Mr. Baker said that though agrecing in some 
points with the distinguished and able Seaator 
from Louisiana (Mr. Benjamin,) he could not, 
upon the whole, help feeling tho same senti- 
ment expressed by Dr. Johnson, ho believed, 
when shown a certain well-written book which 
he did not approve; “the fellow has done well 
what no one ought to have done at all.” His 
(the speaker's) object, was Lo disprove the idea 
that the Constitution was a compact between 
aovercign Stati ; 

Tho proposition of the Senator from Louisi 
ana (Mr. Benjamin) appeared to be that there 
was no Government of the United States at all; 
that it was no reality, But he would endeavor 
to prove that the Government did exist in rea!- 
ity. He did not believe that the Constitution of 
the United States was a compact between 
States liable to be broken up at any tine by the 
withdrawal of the States. Le read from a let- 
ter of Madison, tending to show that he did 
not regard the Union as a Constitutional com- 
pact of States, and believed that this position 
was maintained by Jackson and others, 

He reviewed the position of Mr, Webster, as 
lstated by Mr. Benjamin, in the Rhode Island 

se, but would have expected that Senator to 
uote from the debate on secession, which had 
rendered the name of Mr, Webster immortal, 
He read from that debate, showing that it was 
bontended by Mr. W. that the Union, in his 
pinion, was a government constituted by the 
people und not the States. He then referred 
fo the speech alluded to by Mr. Benjamin, 
nade by John Quiney Adams, as supporting 
Jiecession, but read the conclusion of that 
Speech unmoutilated, proving that Mr. Adams 
aid that secession was too absurd for consid- 
eration, and that nullification was but little 
better. 
He quoted also from Andrew Jackson, 
whose memory, ho trusted, the Senator from 
Louisiana would revere, and he argued that 
tates wore not sovereigns. Andrew Jackson, 
luring an attempt made by South Carolina to 
secede, was a President who dared to do his 
duty; he could not say in this instanco af such 
wero the present case, He thought that one 
of tho great mistakes of the Senator from 
Louisiana was that the Union was a compact 
of States, and that the States were sovercign. 
He denied this. The Stntes were not soverei, 


Pestiaern Sur) 
QESSORRT whole idea of 
ty was n fallacy from beginning 
toend.- The Constitution was not inade by 
sovercign States, but by the people of the 
United States. ‘Tho Turks wero wont to say 
that there was but one God, and he would 
say that there was but one  sovereign—the 
people. He would inquire of the Senator from 
Louisiana if tbere was « constitutional right 
to secede ¥ 

Mr. Benjamin said he bad supposed that he 
had been explicit on that paint He did be- 
lieve that there was a Constitutionnl right to 
sccede, 

Mr. Baker would ask the Senator to namo 
tho place he found that right in the Constitu- 
tion? 

Mr. Benjamin said that in the Oth and 10th 
amendments of the Constitution such right 
could be found. Certain rights not delegated 
tothe Federal Government were reserved by 
the States 
Mr. Baker denied that the States had made 
any reservation, ‘There was no such thing 

ir. Benjamin read from the last article of 
the Constitution and the amendments, con- 
tending that the right to withdraw by a State 
was recognized when the compact bad been 
violated. 

A brief debate followed to the same effect 
between Senators Baker and Benjamin, 

Mr. Baker proceeding, demonstrated that 
thero was aright of rebellion, but argued that 
there was no oppression or cause for rebellion 
orrevolution in the case of South Carolina,.— 
The Senator from Louisiana had presented a 
dreary catalogue of what he (Mr. Benjamin) 
tered grievances of the South, but the only 
two nlleged points by the Senator, were the 
Fuxitive Slave Law and the government of the 
Territories. Ie would ask the Sonator if there 
wee any more alleged grievances? * 

Mr. Benjamin said that he enumerated six 
in his speech. and could name moro if neces- 
sary. 

Xr, Baker said, that when the weary cata- 
logie of the Senator had been gone through 
wil, and the two propositions which he men- 
tiored had been included, the whole question 
wag narrowed down, in ‘tho Senator's own 
worls—"a difference as to Constitutional con- 
struction aud the violation of the fugitive slave 
law;"" This was the difference. So far as the 
fugtive slave Inw was concerned, he quoted 
Mr. Lincoln in bis debate with Mr. Doulas, to 
sho¥ that be (Lincoln) was not, never bid been, 
angnever would be in favor of the repeal of 
auetieliye slave 1a 
b (Mr. Baker) would say the same thing 
heré—he was noi in favor of the repeal of the 
vo slayo law. The North’ being opposed 
ication, he was in fayor of repealing all 
sonal liberty bills which were uncon- 
ional, and which might be so determined 
the Supreme Court. ‘The Repablican party 
Would maintain this position, and in the exe- 
cutipn of the laws would act wisely and gourd 
wellall the provisions of the Constitution,— 
Referring to the clected President, le suid that 
Mr. Lincoln would be inaugurated on the 4th 
of Match, and coforce all Jaws, whether they 
be mvinue, territorial, or fugitive slave laws; 
andifr7m what he knew of Mr. Lincoln's in-

Mr, Benjamin—It is not at all satisfnctory— 
not inthe slightest degree. 

Mr. Saker proceeded to state that slavery was 
the crature of local Inw. 

Mr. Benjamin said that in the committee of 
thirtea the Repablicans voted down the pro- 
posilio\ that property could be held in slay 
Mr. Inker quoted Clay and Cass in support 
of the lepublican theory that slavery was the 
creature of local law, ‘and quoted from the 
South Cralina Senators to show that in 1850 
they desred no extension of slavery, but wished 
the polic’ of “hands of!" adopted. ' He quoted 
Mr. Rhet, of South Carolina, as declaring that 
the Fugitye Slave law was’ unconstitutional, 
and paid an eulogy to Mr. Clay. Before con: 
cladiog b gave way until to-morrow, resuming 
his speociat 1 P.M, with the understanding 
that Mr. douglas is to follow. 

Mr, Dais offered a resolution in effect that, 
whereas, iy the second and third article of the 


Qoostitution, the militia is to bea security to 
the froo States, and indirectly provided that 5 
State may in timo of peace keep troops and 
ships of war, and by the 7h clause, 1st arti- 
cle, the jurisdiction of the Federal Government 
is limited— 

Therefore, Resolved, That upon application 
of the State, either through the convention of 
tho people or tho Legislature, asking that Fede- 
ral forces tay be withdrawn, the President of 
the United States shall order the withdgawal 
of the Federal garrison, and take all n@@dful 
security for the safety of the public property 
there remaining. 

Resolved, further, That whenever a State, 
in Convention Inwfully assembled, shall enact 
that the safety of the Stato requires that sho 
should keep (roops and ships of war, the Pr 
dent of the United States is hereby directed to 
recognize tho power of the State to do so, and 
by proclamation give information to all of tho 
parties concerned, 

These resolutions were laid over and the 
Senate adjourned. 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 

Mr. Coburn, of Maing, in place of Governor 
Washburne, appeared and qualified. 

ir. Stratton presented the memorial of tho 
citizens of Newark, Now Jorsey, asking Con- 
gress to recommend amendments to the Con- 
Stitution, for the adoption of the several States, 
in view of the present political conditon of the 
country. Ho moved that it be referred to a 
Select Committee of five, 

Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, ssid we have 
already got n Constitution. 

Mr. Stevens moved to lay tho memorial on 
the table, 

Mr. Maynard called for the yeas and nays: 
Mr. Washburne withdrew the motion in 
order that the memorial might be referred to 
the Committee of ‘Thirty-three. 

Mr. John Cochrane ineffectually sought to 
amend the motion so as to instruct the Com- 
mittee to report specifically on tho subject. 
Mr. Adrian presented certain resolutions in 
regard to the pending national questions, as 
adopted at a meeting beld at Trenton, New 
Jersey. ‘They were similarly referred. 

Mr. Olark, of Missouri, wished to know 
whether the 'Committos. of Thirty three were 
likely to report at an early day, or at all? It 
was important tbat this should be known. 

No response was inade, but several gentle- 
men called hiw to order. 

The House took up and passed the Indian 
Appropriation bill. 

‘The House took up the resolution offered by 
Mr. Davis, of Indiana, on Monday, instracting 
the committee on the Judiciary to inquire into 
and report to this House, at any time, what 
legislution, if any, has become necessary on 
the part of Congress in consequence of the se- 
cession of, and position assumed by South 
Carolina. 

The House refused to second the dewand for 
the previous question—ayes 47, nays 72. 

Mr. Dayis withdrew the resolution, Mr. 
Hindman having proposed as a substitute a 
series of resolutions against secession, and 
looking to the employment of the army and 
navy for the protection of Government proper- 
ty, and to enforce thecollection of the revenue. 
Messrs. Vallandigbani and Sherian severally 
contended that Mr. Davis had no right to with- 
draw tho resolution 

The Speaker decided that Mr. Davis had such 
aright 

Mr. Shorman claimed tbe privilege of offer- 
ing Mr. Davis’ original resolution as above 
given. 

Mr. John Cocbrane said that such action was 
plainly out of order. 

Mr. Bocock raised a point of order that Mr. 
Sherman could not offer the resolution at this 
time. A long discussion ensued on the point 
of order. 

The Chair decided the resolution of Mr. 
Sherman to be out of order. 

Mr. Sherman took an appeal from that deci- 
sion. 

Mr. Adrian moved to lay the appeal on the 
table, which was decided in the negative—yeas 
73, nays 77. 

Mr. Hill moved (o reconsider (be vote just 
had. 

Mr, Anderson, of Mo., said the resolution 
was only calculated to irritate the public mind 
and hasten impending events. Ie moved 
thatghe Houso go inte Committee of the Whole. 

The Chair ruled this motion out of order, 
while tho motion to reconsider was pending, 

‘A motion to adjourn was lost—yeas 57, nays 
100. 

Mr. Howard, of Michigan, said if Mr. Sher- 
man would withdraw his appeal he thought be 
could offer resolutions upon which they could 
vote, which would give satisfaction.

He proposed a Select Committe to investigate 

these matters, with power to send for porsons

Mr. Sherman refused to withdraw his ap- 
peal, and the vote being taken on the motion to

Excrremest.—This city was nover before,

Tho all-absorbing topic of conversation is tho action 
of South Caroling, and ou every inan’s lips there is 
fan cagor ery of "What's the nowst!—and ballet

‘utmost determination on all hands that this State 
thall novor bo pressed by the foot of au invader 
withont resistance being vifered to the very death. 
Let it bo understosd, too, that South Carolina ha 
the sympathy of the Immense bulk of oor citizens, 
nud that she will be assisted and fought for to tho 
bitter end. 

Soine time ago thore was an iden abroad, thot there

Hancock on Wedacsday aud yesterday, ona chargo 
‘of talking about freedom, were, attor a thorough in- 
Ventigation, ordered 39 each. 

It appears that the whole affeir amounted to this, 
that they hod said amongst themselves, that they 
expected to bo free about the 4th of Mareh, in con- 
sequence of Lincoln's olection, (that at leant was tho 
substance of it.) They had not, however, concocted 
any plot, or decided upon action or named any 
Une for doing anything ‘They bad, bowover, nse 
some very violent language abont white people,— 
‘Ten negtoes were punished, and ‘Bve were dis-

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. 


REPORTED FOR THE RIOUMOND ENQUIRER, 


Thirty-sixth Congress—Second Session, 
Wasurxoroy, Jan 8, 1801. 


‘Sexate—Mr. Bigler presented the Pennsyl- 
yanin plan of compromise, based on Mr, Crit- 
tenden's proposition. Mr. Orittenden intro- 
duced his plan of adjustment; also a resolution 
submitting it to the people. Mr. O. made an 
eloquent speech on the subject. Mr, Baker, of 
Oregon, resumed and concluded his speech of 
yesterday. Ho argued to show that Northern. 
ers did not desire to interfero with slayery.— 
Mr, Benjamin interrupted him and quoted 
Republican papers, which sustained John 
Brown's raid. Mie Baker recommended Gen, 
Jackson’s policy and closed with a strong ap- 
peal for the Union. 

Mr. Douglas took the floor on Mr. Powell's 
resolutions, and said, being compelled to vote 
for them gave bim great pain, declaring, as 
they did, that no adjustment could restore 
peace. Ie said that Congress never had legi 
Inted on slavery without danger to the country, 
He defended the Kansas-Nobraska act, and 
dofended the South from the alleged aspersions 
of Mr. Wado andothers. ‘The Senate adjourn- 
ed until Monday, 

Hovse.—Mr, Hutchinson offered resolutions 
repudiating a comproniise by the Republicans 
and endorsing Mr. Wade and Mr. Hale, Mr, 
Shernian withdrow certain objections which he 
pressed yesterday, looking to the ndoption of 
coercive measures. 

‘The Committeo on the Judiciary reported to 
the House a bill further to provide for the col- 
lection of the revenue, and investing the Presi- 
dent with additional powers. A motion to re- 
commit it caused a debate. The Southern wem- 
bers wished to give it a quietus in the commit- 
tee of the whole, The Republicans endeavor- 
ed to bring it to a direct vote in the House.— 
Finally, it was agreed that it should come up 
as unfinished business en Tuesday. ‘Tho Honse 
adjourned to Monday. 


Scizure of United States Forts, 

Wasarxotos, Jan. $.—It is believed, Yrom 
what is known here, that io the coursed a. 
few days the forts at Pensacolaand Key West, 
Fort Morgan in Alabama, the fort at Ship 
Island, near the mouth of Lake Borgne, together 
with tho arsenal at Baton Rouge, and Fort 
Johnson, on Cape Fear River, will be seized 
and garrisoned by the troops of the respective 
States in which tbey lio, 

Senator Tombs received a dispatch to-day, 
saying that the forts in Gvorgia wore seized by 
order of Gov. Brown. Private information says 
that if any attempt be made either to reinforce 
the arsenal at Augusta, or to remoye the arms, 
it will at once be seized. 

Forts Palaski and Jackson haye been occu- 
pied by the Georgia State (roops, under 
structions from the Governor of the Slate, 
But for this action on the part of the Governor, 
the Savannah papers state, it would have been 
effected by the spontaneous uprising of the 
people. 


e+. 
South Caroling Commlestouers 

Wasurxorox, Jan. 8.—It is reliably stated, 
that President Buchanan considered the com- 
wunication of the South Carolina Commis- 
sioners as insolent, and returned it to them.— 
The Commissioners started for home this 
morning. 

‘The South Carolin cominissioners consider- 
ed the abrupt termination by the President of 
their business with him as grossly insulting to 
themselves and to their State. They treat itas 
adeclaration of war, and in this spirit they 
left the city this morning for South Carolina, 
It is said tho President yesterday returned 
their note without comment. 
er 
From Washington Oly. 


Wasuixoros, Jan, 3. 
‘The committee of thirty:three to-day adopt. 
ed resolutions declaratory against any right to 
interfere with slavery in the slaye States, and 
recognizing the justice and propriety of a 
faithtul execution of the Constitution and all 
the laws made in pursuance thereof, including 
those on the subject of fugitive slaves or fugi 
tives from service or labor, and the discounte- 
nance of all mobs or hindrances to the execu- 
tion of such laws; and that citizens of each 
State shall be entitled to all the privileges and 
immunities of citizens in the several States, 

——— 
South Carollaa Sovercign Convention, 
Cuaxtestox, Jan 3.—Tbe Convention met 
at the usual hour, 
A resolution was olfered empowermg the ci- 
tizens of tho United States, domiciled outside 
of South Carolina, to bold and dispose of real 
estate without hindrance or molestation. The 
resolution was laid on the table for the pre- 
sent. 
Mr. Dunkin, from the Committ® on Com- 
mercial Relations made a report, 
A communication was received from the 
Governor in relation to the present Assistant 
Treasurer of the United States. 
Tho Convention then went into secret se: 
sion, it is supposed, for the purpose of consid- 
ering {he question of adjournment, and for the 
appointiuent of delegates to a general conven- 
tion.

From South Carolina, &e. 

Cuartestox, Jan, 3.—A number of free and 
slave negroes are engaged at work on the re- 
doubts of the coust. 

Benjamin Mordecai yesterday presented the 
State with $10,000, 
The Charleston “Courier,” of to-day, says 
that many Northern Journals reiterate their 
false assertions that the telegraph in this city 
is under surveillance. It is not so; and the 
editors and reporters, when they make such 
assertions, know they are lying as usual. I 
Tassure you that for some time prior to ten

Tho State Convention—Intornal Affairs of 
the Commonwealth, 
Jo the Editors of the Enquirer: 
Wrrmynir, Va,, Dee. 29, 1860. 


Gentlemen—From your paper, and other 
sources, we sce that an attempt may be made 
to distract the counsels of the friends of South- 
ern rights, and the henor of Virginia, by the 
threat that the consideration of the internal 
affairs of the Commonwealth will bo obtruded 
into any convention that may be called by the 
Legislature, to act in vindication of the rights 
aa maintenance of the honor of the Stato in 
tho present pressing emergency. We have 
only to say, that s0 far as South-weatern Virgi- 
nin is concerned, there is no ground for any 
such belief, Our people want a settlement of 
tho difficulties now impending over us in our 
Federal relations; and they are utterly opposed, 
to any attempt to mix up that settlement with 
anything relating to our domestic affairs. — 
South-western Virginia is content to wait until 
the time fixed by the Constitution itself, for 
the arrangement and settloment of any real or 
imagivary grievances in our domestic relations. 
We are of opinion, that any complication of 
our domestic interests with our Federal rela- 
tions will be impolitic and unfortunate; and 
that it would be a mere “shallow device” to 
divide the truo friends of Virginia and the 
Soutb. Let us settle our difficulties with the 
North in tho first place—we can arrange our 
internal aflairs at our leisure, d 

We have only to add, that in our. opinion 
there is not, in Southwestern Virginia, any 
dissatis{action with the present system of re- 
presentation and taxation; nnd that when the 
proper time sball aye arrived for the con- 
sideration of those subjects, this region ywill 
bo found to have no disposition to dissent from 
Eastern Virginia. 

Neither have we any confidence in, or re- 
spect for, any proposition for a “Central Cou- 
federacy,” from which any Southern States avo 
to be excluded. Tt is another design to dioide 
the South. Our interests, our rights and our 
safety are identical with those of our Southern 
sister States. We want to act with (/e, and, 
if necessary, with them alone; but wo are 
wholly opposed to any action. in conjunction 
with other States, unless the Southern States 
are included among those who take that nelion, 
‘A united South is our only real hope.’

Patriotic Letter from Eton, A. Gs Fonkina, 
To the Baitors of the Washington Constitutions 
Wasutsortos, Dec. 27, 1800, 


Gestiewen :—I have observed for some time 
the persistent endeavors of a part of the Press 
to create tho impression that nn extonsive feel- 
ing of disaffection and disloyalty to the State 
of Virginia prevails in the Trans-Alleghany 
section; and in case Virginia should unite with 
the rest of the Southern States in vindicating 
her rights by the formation ofa Southern Con- 
federacy, when no longer possiblo in the present 
Union, that Trans-Alteghany Virginia will 
secede’ from the State. 

T have not felt myself called npon to correct 
these misrepresentations in any public manner, 
contenting myself with ‘giving (hem an indig- 
nant denial whenever tho topic has been broach- 
ed in conversation with wy friends But two 
recent editorials of your paper—the last one 
in this worning’s issue—alluding distinctly to 
the county of Ritchie, and stating that the dis- 
affection extended to ‘a revolutionary agitation 
brewing in that quarter, and having for its 
avowed object the assembling of a convention 
of the people to take into consideration the ex- 
pediency of separating from Virginia in case 
of her accession to tbe proposed Southern Con- 
federacy,” are so unjust, so untre, so libellous 
upon the character of the people of a county: 
who form apart of my constituency, that T 
feel myself constrained to give the whole thing 
a publicdenial. Ofcourse I do not charge you 
with intentionally making such misrepresepta- 
tions You bave doubtless been misled by 
your informants Let me, then, assure you 
that of the seven or eight thousand population 
of Ritchie county, there ore not over a dozen 
individuals who ‘sympathize with the idea of 

ceding” from Virginia. I will concede there 
are a dozen, as that is just the number of 
votes that Mr. Lincoln received in the coun- 
ty. How that number is to carry on a revolu- 
tion, divide the State, &e., I cannot conceive, 
unless indeed they have better success than 
the illustrious trio they seem to emulate; I 
mean the three tailors of London, who froma 
garret issued their famous manifesto, beginning 
with "Wa the peoplo of England,” 

Now, when I further state that the grand 
jury of this very county presented, with entire 
unanimity, the circulation of the New York 
Tribuno as an offence against the Jaws and 
good order of the State, you will porceive how 
little foundation there is for the nssertion that 
any considerable disaffection exists in that 
quarter towards the State. What I bave said 
of tho sound sentiment of Ritchie county is 
equally truo of all the counties in that Con- 
gressional district, and of some of them ina 
more emincat degree. In many of those coun- 
tics, large and populous, and having but few 
slaves, Mr. Lincoln did’ not receive a single 
vote. And, indced, of the small number of 
votes he received in the State, it would be safe 
to estimate that not one-tenth were native-born 
Virginians. For my own part I do not know 
throughout all ‘Trans-Allegbany Virginia a sin- 
gle native Virginian who is n Repulican—not 
one who would aid Mr. Lincoln_io “coercing” a 
Southern State,nor one whois in favor of dividiog 
the State in the contingency referred to in your 
editorial No, sirs; the pcoplo of Trans-Alle- 
ghany Virginia share that sentiment of loyalty 
dnd devotion to the old Commonwealth which 
is the characteristic of all her sons. We shall 
not give up our inheritance in the pride and 
glory of the past, nor sacrifice our investinent 
in the hopes of tbe future. All tbat we have, 
all that we are, all that we hope, are indissolu- 
bly bound up in the fate of the Old Dominion, 
To her we owe allegiance, and omly through 
her to the Federal Government. We will fol- 
low ber flag wherever it nny wave. Should it 
float over the camp of rebellion, we will be “c- 
bels! Should it countenance revolution, we 
will be revolutionists! Should it lead us out- 
side the pale of the present Confederacy, we 
Will still follow it with the same alacrity with 
which wo were wont to march when we "kept 
step to the music of the Union.”

between Eastern and Western Virginia, and of 
the prompting motive. We are happy to be 
able to point to significant confirmations of the 
facts as we stated tbem. Wo have received, 
and publish to-day, the proceedings of the citi- 
zens at Toylor county. ‘The venerable Ex- 
Governor Jobnson, who has been as staunch 
and true to the rights of Virginians her moun: 
tains to their basis, led the patriotic emotions 
of the multitude in a speech full of a courage 
worthy of a young man’s blood. We refer to 
the proceedings to show how he was supported, 

Woe have before us also, the Wheeling 
“Union,” an able and influential paper, con. 
taining an indignant and severe comment on 
an editorial of the “National Intelligencer,” 
which gave currency and inagnitude and i 
portance to the reports of Western Virginia 
defection. We let the “Union’ itself speak 
for its people; simply bidding those wha hp ye. 
eet hoping’ tor distenetions amon us, frou 

§ source, to take off their bats and bow 
their heads and listen, while Western Virgini 
speaks the words of a manly and genei 
patriotism: 

(From tho Wheellag Union. 

Secession From Vinaixia.—We hardly know 
whether to regard as serious or as just, tho fol- 
lowing editorial from the National Intelligencer. 
Tt is the veriest nonsense we have over found 
in the columas of any respectable journal, — 
Such an idea, wo venture to t, is_ not en- 
tertaincd by ten wen in Western Virginia, 
other than Abolitionists and their ‘sympathi- 
zors. We think we know what we say when 
we express the conviction, that from the cen- 
tre to the remotest border of Virginia, there is 
but one sentiment on this question, and tbat 
ig, that whatever may be the action of Virgi- 
nia in this crisis, it will receive the cordial sup- 
port of all her citizens - We will consult ard 
advise together as Virginians, we will preserve 
the Union if it can be itiae honorably and effec 


tually, and, failing in that, Virginia will, for 
herself, determine her own destiny, and then, 
come what may, we will show to the world 1 


united State and a united people of Virginia, 

We ean assure tho National Tutelligensen, 
that this mode of rendering “aid and comfort™ 
to Black Republicans will not go down with 
us of pate NOEEnias and that it had as well 
come out openly and at once. The people o 
tho West adopted for theinselves the aa 
Constitution. There are objectionable fentures 
in it, but we know when ond whero to amend 
it, and we assure the Abolitionists that we do 
not need their aid, advice or sympathy in the 
premises. 


Thirty-Sixth Congress--Seoond Session. 


Moxpay, Drceaunn 31, 1860. 
SENATE. 
Tho galleries were filled to overflowing, 
any being utterly unable to got in. 6 

Mr, Crittenden offered a resolution assigning 
1a portion of the galleries of the Senate for the 
use of foreiga ministers and their families, 

Mr. Davis said that tho foreign ministers 
were provided for by admission to the floor, 
and ho: could not see any reason for admitting 
their farilies to tho gallery, when our own 
were excluded, 

Mr. Mason said that these foreign ministers 
and their families wero our guests, and should 
Have a preference over the members of our 
own families. ‘Tho Senator would, no doubt, 
accord them such preference. . 

Mr. Soward thought that the foreign ambas- 
sadors were not to be regarded solely as jadi- 

junis, The Senate and House of Represen- 
Mtives had given them the privilege of adii 
sion to the floor of the Senate and the gallery 
of the Houso until to-morrow. 

Mr. Turnbull moved that the resolution be 
postponed. Not agreed to. ‘Tho resolution 
was agreed to, , i 
Mr. Powell from the committee of thirteen, 
made report that they are unable to agree 
upon any plan of adjustment 

Mr, Douglas took the floor for Wednsday, on 
the resolution : 

The Senate agreed when it adjourns to-day, 

till Wednesday next. 
Vilson offered w resolution calling on 


and the number sold, Laid over, 

‘Phe Dill for the organization of the ‘Lerrito- 
ry of Arizona was taken up and considered, 

Mr, Benjamin said that at tho Tast adjourn- 
ment of the Senate, he bad stated that he pro- 
posed to address the Senate on the eritical con- 
dition of the country, but before he did so, he 
© the Senate would receive some oficial 
colomunication on the State of South Carolina, 
butas the Senate had not received it he should 
assume the condition which it would represent. 
He knew it had been- well said that this was 
no time for reerimination, but he would refer 
towspeech mude by him in 1856, in which 
he anticipated this {reat condition of Uhings, 
and read portions of it to show that he gave in 
the principles of the republicans the condition 
to which we would arrive should they triumph 
upon them, ‘The question was soon'to be pre- 
sented here whether we would recognize the 
independence of South Carolina, or whether 
We intended to mako war upon her with a govt 
cernmentwwhich she had repudiated, 

Tle proceeded to argue the right of secession, 
and contended that South Carolina, in her 
sovereign capacity, had the right to. repeal the 
ordinance in 1860, which sho bud passed in 
1788, and if no compact intervened, all must 
admit that she bas the inberent power. He 
quoted Mr. Webster in the Rhode Island case, 
who contended that a bargain broken on one 
side was a bargain broken on all sides, and to 
show that conventions’ of the people duly as- 
semnbled, were the proper authority to judge 
of the government. He also quoted the re- 

warks of Madison, Martin, Patterson and 

others in the constitutional convention, who 
took the saine position. The constitution could, 
nol compel an offending member of the Union 
to remain in it’ Nine of the Statos under the 
old confederation seceded and formed a gov- 
ernment, But now who was to judge if the 
compact was broken. 

If it was a pecuni matter the constitution 
provided a way for settlement, but if broken 
politically, (he constitution provided no way of 
settlement. Ho read from the debates in the 
convention which formed the constitution, to 
show that they refused to make the Senate a 
judge, or give the President the veto power on 

; or to give Congress the power to 

tive State legislation—specially refusing 

© any power to force a State ; yet when 

the States came to ratify the constitution, com- 

plaints were made that were not suffi 

ciently secure, Tho State was the judge of 

avy wrong. Ho read from Vattel and others 

to sustain these positions, at great leofth. It 

was the position among the republicans thut 

they were not going to mako war on South 

Carolina, but to enforce the laws of the United 
States there against individuals. 

Tiow would they punish an individual for 
treason ? Where would be tho civil powers ? 
Where would they get a court, a judge, jury 
an marshal, when tbe citizons of the individ. 
wal believed that be was right? He could 
not be taken out of the State, or even his dis- 
trict, for trinl. It had been snid that the rey- 
enue could be collected by blockading the 
port, yet this was no_act of coercion! It'was, 
an idle dream to say that the Inw could be en- 
forced when there was no one there to enforce 

|. An embargo Jaid on one port was an em- 
bargo Jaid on all, for theconstitution prevented 
a preference being.given to one port over an- 
other, Republican ‘Senators and they whorm 
they represent, called Southerners murderers 
and thieves because they continued to hold 
property now which they held at the signing 
of the compact. 

Mr, Benjamin, in concluding his specch, 
said: Senators, we shall soon part to mect no 
more as Senators in this chamber. If wo have 
determined to withdrav, let us depart in peace; 
and he conjured therm not to let their con 
science or their honor delude them into an ine 


invasion occur, none could foretell what would 
follow. The South might meot with adverse 
circumstances ; desolation inight be carried 
throughout the Jand, and those fanatics who 
advocated civil insurrection may, under the 
Jead of advancing armics, stir it up; t 

ages on the borders may ‘be invited to join in, 
ns in the Revolution, but he would say that un- 
der all of these circumstances, the South could 
not be subjugated. Never! Never! Never! 

As the speaker was about to resume his seat, 
deafening applause, cat-calls, hisses and other 
violent demonstrations followed from the vast 
crowds of bojh Jadics and gentlemen in the 
galleries, who seemed (o rise en masse. Seve- 
ral Senators sprung to their feet, and Mr. Ma- 
‘on called upon the presiding officer to el 
the galleries immediately 

Mr. Yulee moved to adjourn. 

Not agreed to. 

[Cries: et the gallerics be cleared. Let 
the dignity and decorum of the Senate be 
maintained.) 

Some of the vast crowd began to edge out of 
the doorway, and the appearance of the ser- 
geantat-arms, witha large force soon rendered 
the gentlemen's fale vacant, ' 

Mr. Mason said he did not intend to in 
the ladies in having the galleries cleared, 

Mr, Baker obtained the floor, when the Sen- 
Ate adjourned to Wednesday, 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE: 

‘The Speaker Jaid beforo the House the fol- 
lowing communication from the Secretary of 
War: 


War Drvantursr, Deo. 27, 1860, 
Sir—So much ‘has been said very’ recently 
about the policy of this Department in grani- 
ing acceptances to contractors for transport 
tion across the plains, that I deem it due alike 
to Congress, the public and myself to make a 
short, plain’ statement of (he facts connected 
with the subject. 

At one timo in the year 1858, it beeamo ab- 
solutely necessary to Start large trains of trans- 
portation across the plains to Utah, when there 
was no available means to put those trains in 
notion. Acceptances were given to contrac: 
tors then to enable them to start, and they did 


so. ‘The practice thus begun was continued a 
QML while Frame neeseettgy end wee uficr ards 


followed to afford accoramodation to contrac- 
tors in their very large and extensive work,— 
‘Their purport is to give preference to the hold- 
er when filed in the department, out of any 
moncys due to contractors, These acceptances 
have, until the past autumn, been to large 
amounts, nor has any complaint whatever, un- 
til then, been heard that jueans were not pro- 
vided to meet and redeem them, There has 
never been the least concealment or mystery 
about this busi Tt was perfectly known 
toall who had any interest in knowing any- 
thing about it, They have been given only 
when there was a subsisting contract, out of 
which means to mect them would certainly 
aristy and for tho execution of which there was 
an existing appropriation. They are prohibit- 
ed by no law. - 

The issue of these acceptances within this 
month rested upon the following considera- 
tions: Those given for the last season's work, 
and which were held as collateral security in 
different places, the contractors were anxious to 
postpone until next season, ‘They represeated 
that this could be dene with’ acceptances, 
Which on their face represented that they 
would be paid when the money they called for 
was carned by the contractors for next season's 
work. Tho strongest nssurances were given 
(hat this paper yas only to go, and certainly to 
go, by agreement already made, into the hands 
alone of those banks and tirms who then held 
unpaid acceptances, and for which they were 
to he substituted, and held as collateral to their 
own obligations. Tho pay accruing under 
this contract for next season will be more than 
enough to cover the amount of acceptances 
predicated on it. ‘Yo insure this stipulation I 


vasion of the seceding States. Should sachang 


consented to issue paper only in largo amounts, 
and in the form which would be neceptable, if 
at all, to those who knew the perfect solvency 
of the contractors, and who had already money 
engagements with them toa large amount, aud 
who had, as 1 was informed, and, as Ebelieved, 
already consented to and desired the arrange: 
ment. 

If theso promises and faithful engagements 
had been performed, no difficulty could ever 
have resulted from the transaction, It could 
not and would not have misled or deceived any 
one. No expectation based on it could by any 
possibility have been disappointed. But the 
promises mado me were not kept—were broken. 
Whis paper was, it seems, placed in the hands 
of the clerk of the Interior, who had abstracted 
a large amount of securities belonging to the 
Indian trust fund. — Finding this to be the case, 
L have not hesitated to give an order to cancel 
and annul all those acceptances. Their por- 
version has rendered them void and of no effect. 
Tun gratified to assert a confident belief 
that no ono connected in any way, directly, re- 
wotely, in any shape or form, with the duties 
of the War Department, had any the least con- 
nection with or knowledge of this embezzle- 
inent, in its inception or its progress. 

‘The issue of this paper resolves itself into a 
question of ndministrative consideration alone, 
I think; and so regarding it, I will be pardon: 
ed for adverting very briefly to this: aspect of 
the subject. These contractors have, by along 
sories of years of faithful, honest and most efli- 
cient services, won ‘the confidence and good 
fecling of all persons having any connection 
with the transportation for. the army in the 
country lying beyond our Western settlements. 
‘Phey have never failed in any of their engage- 
ments, and had executed many of them unde 
circumstances of peculiar emubarrasment—f 
‘They were men of very large wealth and mosff 
oxtensive means, and possessed fully the con- 
idence of ull who knew them, It hus become 
latterly pretty evident that but small profits, 
if any, were hkely to be realized from. thoi 
operations, and this was put into gre 


try have arisen from no cause which. busing 
uien could be fairly called upon tg 
of. ‘hey haggle 

not from er 
monetary action. Under this evi 
was not unwil 
Government any assistance likely to save them 
from serious injury growing out of political 
disturbances, if that could be done without 
running any risk of loss to Government I 
think such a course can derogate nothing fom 
asound administrative disereti nithougte 
sequel has shown that such confidence has Been 

laced. 

But there is anoth 
sideration connected with the subject of ¢(n- 
tracts for transportation, and one which canrot 
be overlooked with any just appreciation of 
good administration. Good and. thorougtly 
responsible contractors for transportation across 
our immense plains are extremely important 
persons to our little army, and difficult to ob- 
tain. ‘There is no other service like it knowa 
in the world. Nowhere else on the globe would 
the idea be entertained of subsisting an army 
by transporting its supplies overland a distance 
of w thousand or twelve bundred miles, through 
an uninbabited wilderness; and yet a very 
large part of our army is furnished and sub- 
sisted by this'means. If the present contrac- 
tors, who have so long and so faithfully per- 
formed their work, should fail or become so 
embarrassed 98 to be unable to do their work 
and supply the army, it would resuilt in tho 
loss to the United States of a vast sum of money 
—probably a million dollars) But the pecu- 
niary loss would bo stall in comparison with 
the risk and damage which such a failure would 
subject our troops to, who are stationed in the 
deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. 

Should any accident befall these men, or any 
serious inconvenience result to them from the 

lure of a regular and certain transmission 
of supplies, it would be difficult to estimate 
tho just indignation which would be heaped 
upon the head of the ignorant or delinquent 
officer whose inefficiency bad allowed, it— 
Trains necessary for the transportations, to bo 
perforined by Russell, Majors. and Waddell, 

much short of a million dollars, 

quire months of industry and ac- 

tivity to prepare. It would be very clear to 

avy one that a wise forecost demands of the 

government to sustain these contractors by all 
fair aud legitimate means, 

Thaye now nearly brought my adwinistra- 
tion of the war department to a close, and T 
will bo excused for adverting to it briefly— 
‘There is not one branch of the military service 
Which is not in perfect order, as far as my 
means are aflordet of knowing, and they are 
very complete, Some have been particularly 
encouraged, and L think improved; discipline 
is excellent, and the accountability to superior 
authority in every depariment could scarcely 
Le oxovlle: 

Strict economy is enforced, and perfect re- 
sponsibiliy in ull money expenditure is and 
has heen successfully carried into effect. With- 
in four years, since f have presided in this de- 
partment, nota dollar, I believe, has been lost 
to the government by embezzlement or theft, 
and within that time sixty millions of dollars 
have been disbursed. No system of adminis- 
tration, no line of policy, I think, could reach 
botter results; no. system of accountability 
could bo more perfect: These facts I confident- 
lyassert, and the departwent is everywhere 
full of the proofs of them, I invite any inves- 
tigation which the Houso may think proper to 
institute into any or all of wy official acts. 

Vory respectfully, your obedient servant, 

JOHN B. FLOYD, 
Sceretary of War. 

Mr. Bocock moved that the communication 
bo referred to the select committee appointed 
to investigate the matter of the abstraction of 
the Indian trust fund bonds. 

Mr. Curtis epposed this course. 

Mr. Bocock that Mr. Curtis could ap- 
pear as a witness before that committe, and 
briefly contended that the communication 
should take that direction, as the Secretary of 
War says he has been complicated to some ex- 
tent as a party to the question before the com- 
mittee. 

Mr. Curtis denied that he had offered bim- 

if as a witness, and remarked that the Secre- 
tary of Warhnd made a contract with Messrs, 
Russell, Majors & Co,, without nuthority of 
Jaw, to the prejudice of other parties. 

Mr. Grow raised the point that the Secreta- 
ry of War bas no authority by law to commu- 
micate to the House at will, 

Mr. Bocock said the question came too late, 
When a public officer believes himself falsely 
implicated in an improper transaction, he has 
‘a right to come here and ask an investigation, 

‘The Speaker said it did not appear to bia 
that, while it is made the duty of the President 
to transmit communications, the heads of the 
Departments could not do so. 

Mr, Clemens referred to the act of 1808, to 
show that itis expressly provided thst the Se- 
cretary of War shall buye no right to muke 
communications in regard to contracts, 

Mr, Grow did not consider that law to be 
applicable to this case, 

‘Lhe communication was referred to the se- 
lect committee on the abstraction of the bonds,

Mr, Stevens, of Pennsylyanin, offered a re- 
solution calling on the President for informa- 
tion as to the condition of the several forts, 
arsenals and public property in the neighbor: 
hood of Charlestuns; whether any means were 
taken to garrison them when it was evident 
South Carolina would secede; the number of 
troops in them when that event took place, and 
tho number in them now; what means had 
been taken to garrison Fort Sumter after the 
seizure of the other forls by the insurgents 
and whether any vessel of war had been sent 
to Charleston sineo the seizure of the revenuo 
by the rebellious State. 

Mr. Braneh objected to the consideration of

Mr. Stevens moved to suspend the rul

before the motion to suspend the rnles could

Public Meeting In Fauquier County. 


At a ieeting of tho citizens of Fauquior 
county, without respect to party, held at tho 
Court House, on Monday, tho 24th of Decem- 
ber, (court day,) on motion of Col. Jobn Em- 
mett Scruggs, who explained tho olject of the 
meoting, John M. Forbes, Esq., was unani- 
mously called (o the Chair, and Win, E. Gas- 
kins was appointed Secretary. 


Col. Scruggs moved tho appointment of a 
committee of twelve, to consider and report re- 
solutions for the adoption of the mecting. Af- 
tor sundry suggestions from several gentlemen, 
the resolution was withdrawn by the mover. 
On motion of Col. Win. Winter Payne, it 
was resolved, that the speeches be limited to 
thirty minutes duration, And all gentlemen 
present who proposed to submit resolutions for 
tho consideration of the people, were requested 
to present them all before a vote should be ta- 
ken on any, 

Whereupon, Capt. John Scott presented the 
following resolutions? 

1. Resolved, That the Confederacy of the 
United States, as it has heretofore existed, is 
the resumption by South Caroli- 
na of her sovereign powers, and will be further 
dismembered by tho speedy resumption by 
what are known as the other Cotton States, of 
their sovereign powers. 

2, Resolved, That, at this juneture, it be- 
comes the people of Virginia to meet'in Con- 
vention, and in the exercise of unalicnated and 
inalienable sovereignty, to take measures to 
provide.for their independence and safety. 

3, Resolved, That Virginia is, and ought to 
continuo a sluveholding State, and ought to 
preserve, unimpaired, her union with the other 
sliveholding States, and that we look upon any 
Proposition tending to ,divide her from thew, 
with apprehension and distrust, 

4, Resolved, Lhat not only is Virginia con 
nected with the rest of the South by the strong. 
est moral and political sympathies, growi 
ont of her slave institutions, but that her 
iaterial interests aro vitally connected with 
theirs, i 
5, Resolved, That we regard, with ummin- 
gled aversion, the plan recently concocted of 
Middle or Third Confederacy, to be composed 
of the Border Slaye States’ on the one hand, 
and the Northern and North-western States on 
the other, 2s but a mischievous contrivance o 
divide the South in this hour of peril, and 
keop Virginia hitched to the Black Republi- 
can Slates, where she will be plundered, insult- 
ed and invaded in the future, as she has been 
plundered, insulted und invaded in the past. 

6. Resolved, Convinced that the Union is 
now dissolved, we believe its re-construction 
to be desirable, but its reconstruction under a 
Constitution different from the present Consti- 
tution. But we believe, in order to attain that 
resull, the mediatorial agency of Virginia and 
Maryland to be necessary; but to eoablo them 
to net that character with’ success, that they 
ought to secede from any union with the North, 
and place themselves in an indepondent and 
neutral position. 

7. Resolved, That such a courso is advisa- 
ble, farthermoro, to weaken the government of 
Lincoln, if he should rashly undertake to force 
back into the Union a seceding State, and as 
tending to hasten the dismemberment of the 
Northern Union and the disintegration of 
Northern Soci 

8. Resolved, That if that medium Tail to re- 
store the Union, that Virginia, Maryland, and 
tho other border States, should promptly enter 
the Southern Confederacy. : 

9. Resolved, That we regard the inaugara- 
tion of Lincoln at Washington City as an 
event fraught with extreme peril to the safety 
of the South and tho peace of the country; and 
that the secession of Maryland and Virginia, 
carrying with them the Federal capital, will 
alone prevent a bloody collision in ils streets, 
which will be but the kindling of war. By 
this prompt action, not only would sanguinary 
riots be prevented, but the fugitive government 
of the Black Republicans would lose all au- 
thority of the minds of the people. That we 
regard this as the surest mode to attain a peace- 
able settlement of the national difficulties. 

Col. Wim. W. Payne sustained Capt. Scott's 
proposition by sotne remarks, and olfered the 
following asa substitute for the first resolu- 
tion, which was accepted by Capt. Scott : 

1, Resolved, That the Federal Union is the 
result of a constitutional compact between the 
States respectively, and as consequence, 
the persistent, systematic, and palpable viola- 
tion of that compact by ‘parties thereto, dis- 
solves that Union. 

2, Resolved, The Constitution of the United 
States, (Art, 4th, sec, 2nd, 2nd and Srd clauses,) 
provides for the rendition of fugitives from jus- 
tice and labor, and, a3 a consequence, these 
so refused to abide by and ex- 
ion of the Constitution, have 


ecuto that prov’ f 
purposely violated that instrument, and thereby 
dissolved this Union. 


|. Resolved, That the withdrawal of South 
Carolinn from the forms of the Union now ex- 
isting, is neither Revolution, Treason, or Se- 
cession from « Constitutional Union, but sim- 
ply nn act declaring a forfeiture under the 
broken covenant, 

4. Resolved, That no Southern Stato ought, 
under any circumstances, to allow the Gov- 


coercion, direct or indirect, to enforce its au- 
thority, in or over any slave State denying its 
authority to do so. 

Mr. James V. Brooke then presented a pre- 
amblo and resolutions, and accompanied his 
resolutions with remarks in support of his 

{Those will be published hereafter.) 
eupon, Mr. Robert E. Scott offered the 
1g resolutions : 

1. Resolved, That we are strongly attached to 
the Union of the States, and (o tho federal sys- 
tem on which it rests, and we shall be reluc- 
tant to believe that the association of tho peo- 
plo of the United States under a common gov- 
erntnent is incompatible with the safety of any 
part. 

} 2. Resolved, We bold that the people of the 
States united together upon terms of perfect 
equality, and the powers granted to the com- 
mon Government were conceded in the confi- 
dence that they would be fiithfully exercised 
for the common good, 

8. Resolved, We regard the recent election 
of Chief Magistrates for the country, upon aa 
issue injuriously affecting the interests of fit- 
teen States, ns a departure from. tho principles 
on which the Union was founded; and we 
shall regard the ase of the federal power to ex- 
clude slavery from the Territories, aod confine 
it for the future to tho limits of the States in 
which it now exists, to which the dominant 
party stands pledged, as an assault upon the 
safety of the people of those States, and in de. 
rogation of rights that the government was de- 
signed to protect. 

4, Resolved, We claim for the interests that 
spring from slivo labor, tho same consideration 
and respect from the common governinent that 
is accorded to the interests that spring from 
freo Inbor, and if that equality cannot be ob- 
tained for us under the Constitution and exist- 
ing laws, the Constitution and laws should be 
amended, and now provisions added thereto 
ndequate to that end. = 

5, Resolved, Without assuming to indicate 
what special’ legislation or Constitutional 
amendinents are required by the occasion, wo 
doom the events that surround us sutticiently 
grave to demand consideration by the people 
in Convention; and we concur in tho expedi- 
ency of assembling’seporate State Conventions 
in the slave-holding States, in which the people 
of each State mny separately set focth the 
grievances of which they complain, and indi- 
cate the remedies they deem appropriate for 
their redress, and then we think the whole 
should be referred to a general convention of 
the sajno States for final determination. 

6th. We nre strongly in favor of a cordial 
Union of all the slaveholding States) and we 
depreeate the separate secession of any, as cal- 
culated to disturb that harmony of feeling and 
concert of action on which the safety and pros- 
perity of all depend, 

Mr. Scott supported his resolutious by re- 
marks for the time authorized by a previous 
vote of the meeting, and wa replied to by 
Col, Wa, W. Payne. in a speech of the same 
length. 

Mr. RE. Scott again followed in a speech 
of 80 minutes.

tions in a speech of some length, 

Whereupon, Win BE. Gaskins tmoved as a 
substitute =

gates be requested to vote for the same. 
‘After some debate, and at tho request of 
soveral gentlemen, the substitute was with- 
drawn by the mover. 
Dr. John A. Chilton was then loudly called 
for, and addressed tho meeting for a short 
time. 
The yote was then taken at alate hour on

Public Meeting in Amelin. 
Ata large meeting of the people of Amelia 
county, irrespective of party, Meld at the Court 
House, on tho 27th day of December, 1860, 
for the purpose of considering the condition 
of public afairs— : 
On motion of S. S. Weisiger, Esq, P. J. 
Grigg was called to the Chair, and Samuel R. 
Seay appointed Secretary, 
Lewis E. Harvie, Esq., offered the following 
preamble and resolutions, which ho sustained 
in a spocch of great force and ability = 
Ono month has passed since we, the people 
of Amelia county, met together and resolved 
that in our judgment it had become necessary. 
to convene the Legislature of the State, for the 
purpose of calling a convention of the people of 
Virginia, to consider the condition of the Re- 
public, and to provide for the safety and secu’ 


that body, or distract public opinion in the 
South, already too much divided. 
We were also induced then to refrain from 
any expression of opinion, and all action, hy 
(he hope-that something might be done by’ the 
enemies of our institutions and our section to 
allay our excitement and remove our appro 
hensions—something whieh would secure for 
our rights ndeqnate and equal protection in 
this Union. Events have since occurred that 
render our hopes then cherished, vain and de- 
lusive, and make it now our daty to proclaim 
our sentiments in order that they who assail, 
as well ns those who defend our rig! 
know our purposes and determination. 
‘The party who have obtained possession and 
control of the Government, clevated to power 
by tho votes of the people of the free States ex- 
clusively, co far from tendering any assurances 
of protection, or even of forbearance, from the 
‘exercise of sectional hostility, have rejected all 
overtures for compromi nd adjustment of 
our differences, and have offered an additional 
outrage by submitting a proposition to amend 
the Constitution so as to provide that slavery 
shall not be abolished in the States, thereby 
implying their purpose or intention to restrict 
it to its present limits, and thus cause its 
extinction by amalgamation, massacre, or the 


to the exclusive occupation of the black race. 

Within the last few days it has been clearly 
manifested that there is no hope for concession, 
and we now despair of avy redress of our 
wrongs or protection to our rights, from the 
Federal Government, which was incompetent 
to protect them against a hostile community, 
even when administered by those who were 
disposed to do justice to us 

It is apparent thay the representatives of 9 
mojority of the people of the United States do 
not admit the right of property in slaves, 
‘aud, therefore, all hope of security 10 the Union 
for that right, even in the States where it now 
-xists, must be abandoned; nor can any Union 
exist ‘without the unqualified recognition of 
such right of property and a sufficient consti 
tutional guarantee for its waintenance and en- 
joyment wherever the jurisdiction of the com- 
mon Governmentextends, ‘The State of South 
Carolina bas already withdrawn from the Con- 
federacy, Other States, having identity of in- 
terests, will, in a few days or weeks nt most, 
follow her example. [t now becomes impers 
tive on the State of Virginia to proclaim her 
determination, to maintain those rights which 
are indispensable to her existence as a true and 
independent State, Already the slave States 
are ina hopeless minority; when other States 
South of us secede, that minority will be too 
small even to 1 Show of resistance in tho 
Union to the agi ns of the people of the 
non-slayeholding States. Onr honor, then, and 
our interest alike, require that we should and 
we do now proclaim, our deliberate and unal- 
terable purpose and determination: Therefore, 

1. Resolved, That we have despaired of the 
redress of our wrongs and. the maintenancs of 
our rights by the action of the Federal Gov. 
ernment, and inasmuch as the Governwent, af 
ter the 4th of March next, will be in the pos- 
session and under the control of a sectional 
party that bas proclaimed inexorable hostility 
to our peculiar institutions, we demand, prior 
to that time, a clear recognition and adequate 
power for the progection of those rights against 
the aggressions even of the majority of the 
people of the United States, 

2. Resolved, ‘That without a satisfactory as- 
surance of a compliance with that demand, 
prior to that time, it will become necessary for 
Virginia to provide for ber citizens that protec- 
tion of their rights which the Federal Govern- 
ment does not afford. 

3. Resolved, That we will maintain those 
rights even at the cost of the Union, 

Resolved, ‘hat we hase a common cause, 
and are prepared to share a common destiny 
with our Southern brethren. 

5. Resolved, ‘That the State Legislature is 
earnestly requested to call promptly  Conven- 
tion of the people of this State, to consider and 
devise the best means to guard our rights, to pro. 
cure concert of action between the parties hay- 
ing a common interest with us, and to pledge 
them the faith of the State to co-operate with 
them in every measure necessary to secure 
them. 

6, Resolved, That a resort to force by the 
Federal Goverament to exccute the laws of the 
United States against South Carolina, or sny 
other State that may dissolve her connexion 
hh the confederacy, will amount to a decla- 
nof war against such State, and Virginia 
will take up arms in defence of tho com 
rights and intefests of herself and her co-States, 
aod repel fored by force. 

7. Resolved! That in view of the dangers 
which environ us, the General Assembly should 
provide, withont’ delay, more ample and elli 
cient means for organizing, arming and equip- 
ping the military force of the Commonwealth, 
that (ho State may be prepared for every emer 
gency. 

Dr R. P. ‘hylor, Cul. Gregory, Dr. W. Re

resolutions in ¢loquent and able speeches, The 
resolutions wére then unanimously adopted, 

Col. Crump, the de from the county

ficient number of the most improved fire-arms, 
with which to properly arm the volunteer force
